Fun & Elegant Halloween Decor

Halloween is one of those holidays that must exude fun and playful tones. After all, I can't think of Halloween and not think of dress up or children trick or treating. 

Halloween should feel magical and whimsical, but in my house I still want it to feel sophisticated. Kids and grown ups a like should enjoy the decor.

​Come check out how I blend fun and colorful decor with more elegant pieces.

I always surprise my kids with the Halloween decor. I leave this festive detail out of our conversation on the way home from school.

They walk in to see a magical story, that's been playing out in my head, come to life.

Their giddy excitement and love for what I have done make it all so worth it. ​

I picked out these colorful and uniquely shaped pumpkins at a gorgeous local pumpkin patch. I've been seeing a lot of these stacks and I knew it would look awesome inside dressed up as a witch. I made the witch hat out of a paper mache cone, stiff felt, and hot glue. 

​

Every year I love bringing big sticks inside and tying stiff black ribbon on to give the effect of bats flying. I love how one of these sticks layered over the painting in our entry way. It gave the effect of the tree coming to life, so magical! 

​

My mini pumpkin patch is simple, but displays such an important part of Fall and Halloween.

​

This is where you check in at the Witch's Inn Dead and Breakfast. We welcome any ghoul without a soul to enjoy comfy beds, recreation, and a ghastly good restaurant. I'm kidding of course. 

​

When my grandparents moved they gave me a box full of trinkets. This intriguing owl bell was in there. I shined up the brass and can't believe how perfectly this goes with our Dead and Breakfast theme.

We keep a chic bowl of dog treats by the door to keep our cutie Beagle in line. 

​

The magical door to the catacombs. Every witch's house has a basement and this one is accessed through this strange little portal. 
I made this catacombs sign out of a page from a vintage art book. I glued it onto a black board and presto ala cazoo...

​

This is my favorite room to meditate in. It's nice to have some quiet company.

​

It's the enchanted pumpkin.

​

My husband gave me this Molly Hatch gratitude book for Christmas. It's designed more for guests to write in when they visit. I love it and love including it in holiday decor. 

​I don't like scary or gory Halloween vibes. I am more of a good witch. And the magic of gratitude is most powerful of all. 

This is my altar. Care for a candied eye ball?

​

I love these elegant glass urns and the look of a classic ghost rising up from it. These ghosts were so easy to make. 

I stuck a wood dowel rod into a styrofoam ball, glued a piece of white fabric to the back of the ball, and painted on a quick face.

Is anyone else getting Halloweentown vibes? I love that movie!

​

I wrote this spell myself to bring in good vibes. You can download it as well in the original post.

This is a Taino god of good luck that we got in the Dominican Republic. I keep it out all year long, but he looks especially cool with the Halloween decor, don't you agree?

Thanks for stopping by! Have a Happy Halloween!
